It can also be applied to "regular" supporting sponsors for yearly donations. Without entering in such Marketing system, We can localize several website areas for logos of sponsors, and the real estate has a rental cost depending on where it is located.<br>

we have received a donation from a company where the donor expected to<br>

We (Martin and me) assumed that they donated for the Vienna Sprint<br>
(list of donors is on the Wiki page) but they expect to be mentioned<br>
on the main site.<br>
<br>
Since we do not communicate well who-goes-where, I suggest that we<br>
develop a sponsorship program like other OSGeo projects to (or OSGeo<br>
itself).<br>
We need to clearly communicate what a sponsor will "get back" at which amount.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>+1 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
